A Liberal Vendetta (083109) by J. F. Kelly, Jr.
The much-maligned Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is not among America’s most cherished institutions. Few mothers encourage their children to grow up to be CIA agents. Americans have been conditioned by a liberal media to expect the worst of the CIA and, to be sure, the CIA sometimes obliges with clumsy operations and flawed intelligence estimates. No institution is perfect, least of all spy agencies. It’s a dirty job but somebody’s got to do… Continue

Coasting: Coronado - Cyclists' mecca a smooth cruise
Even in Coronado, a town teeming with bicycles, resident Ted Gibbon cuts an unusual figure as he pedals around.
People stop him several times a week to take photos of two pint-size pooches, Rickie and Lucie, that poke out of a wicker basket on the front of his electric-blue bike. Gibbon rides about 10 miles a day, crisscrossing this so-called Crown City and stopping at the ferry landing so he can chat with old-timers over… Continue

Uplifting footnote to 1940 teen tennis tragedy
What drew the New York writer to the mythic story of the most promising player of his generation, a Coronado kid lost to death and then reborn as a shining ideal?
“It was a mystery,” John Martin said in an e-mail last week. “I couldn't resist. I've been a reporter for 50 years, and I'd rarely found a story so compelling. It was triumph, tragedy, and finally triumph.”
In a ceremonial sense, we owe the… Continue

Convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi was released from a Scottish prison where he was supposed to be serving a minimum 27-year term.
